Amava is isiXhosa for experience, as in the life wisdom and knowledge that one accumulates from birth through every learning encounter along the way. From parents, from grandparents, from ancestors. From communities, from schools, from places of worship. South Africa has a huge amount of diversity in terms of what these every day realities look like. We seek to create spaces of learning that honour these differences and recognize the multiple forms of wisdom we all have to share with each other, spaces where through the sharing of our individual experiences, we equip each other with the skills and knowledge to develop practical solutions that create more resilient and inspired individuals and communities.
